The Research Training Group *Philosophy, Science and the Sciences* (RTG 1939) (ancient-philosophy.hu-berlin.de) at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin is offering several
*salaried positions for doctoral candidates*
*stipends for pre-doctoral studies*
to candidates working on a research project within the RTG 1939 on the dialogue between different forms and models of knowledge in ancient Greek, Roman and Arabic thought (including its medieval and early modern reception). Topics involve both philosophy and some special science or other (including mathematics, medicine, and other disciplines that we might not today consider special sciences, such as grammar or divination).
Salaried doctoral positions (T-VL Berlin E13 at 65%) will be funded for three years, starting on 1 October 2019.
Stipends for pre-doctoral studies have guaranteed funding for one year, starting on 1 October 2019. Pre-doc students making good progress toward the doctorate will receive a further three years of funding, leading to the completed doctorate.
Additional funding is available for conference travels, research stays abroad and other qualification measures, such as language training.
Applications: Please follow the instructions given on our website (ancient-philosophy.hu-berlin.de). The application deadline is 31 January 2019.
